Thursday, Parshas Shlach 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

The Rebbe davened Shacharis in Yeshiva Gedolah, Beirach Moshe branch. Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochurim.
- The bochur Yisroel Braun.
- The bochur Yoel, son of R' Lipa Rubin.

During the Torah reading, the Rebbe went to hagbah. After davening, he learned the daily Tehillim shiur, on chapter 31, verse 20. Afterwards, a lechayim was held with the bar mitzvah bochurim in his private room.

In the afternoon hours, members of the board of our holy mosdos from Monsey came in for a private audience and brought five necklaces for protection and success, which will be distributed to the Beis Rachel students who accepted upon themselves commitments for improvement in matters of technology. The Rebbe blessed the necklaces and wished them his holy blessing.

At around 6:15, the Rebbe davened Mincha in his holy home on Tzanz 19.

At around 7:40, the Rebbe went over to the home of HaRav R' Yitzchak Feder (may he have a speedy recovery), where a signing of the contracts took place, in which his son, the distinguished philanthropist R' Shlomo Feder of Williamsburg purchased the merit of the new 'Takanos Chasuna Halls', which are being built in the new Beis Rachel building, 'Binyan Klein', in Kiryas Joel, for the phenomenal sum of five million dollars. Present were members of the mosdos board and the members of the Takanos Chasuna Committee.
HaRav R' Shlomo Zalman Weiss, administrator of Mosdos Kiryas Yoel, spoke and presented the current situation with the many takanos halls in Kiryas Joel for weddings, tenaim, Shabbos sheva brachos, and the great need for yet another wedding hall in Kiryas Joel. A pleasant conversation ensued about the many initiatives of the Takanos Chasuna Committee in the past, and, b'ezras Hashem, "its hand is still outstretched" with further plans for the future.
The Rebbe signed the contracts together with the philanthropist and the mosdos board, drank a lechayim, and bestowed his holy blessing upon R' Shlomo, upon his father R' Yitzchak (may he have a speedy recovery), and upon the whole family. He then delivered words of Torah and highlighted the great merit of being able to help build a building for Beis Rachel, from which, b'ezras Hashem, proper Jewish mothers of the coming generation will emerge, and the merit of helping Yidden at the time of their simcha, and concluded with abundant blessings.
The Rebbe then gave R' Shlomo a gift: a silver lighter with which the Rebbe had lit the lights before Maariv on the night of Lag B'Omer, in honor of the Tanna, the divine Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, at the great lighting ceremony before multitudes of Yidden. It ended at around 8:10.

Private audiences were held from 8:15 until 11:45 at night in his holy home on Uhel 19.

At around 9:00, the Rebbe went down to the halls in his holy home, where he read the tenaim of the mechutanim.
- HaRav R' Yom Tov Lipa Weinberger and HaRav R' Eliyahu Yehuda Roth.
- HaRav R' Yitzchak Weinstock and HaRav R' Yoel Bar"sh Rubinstein.

After the tenaim, the Rebbe went into the new kitchen that was just completed in his holy home, where the Shabbos seudos will be cooked for the four Shabbos sheva brachos halls in his holy home, and for the many 'honorees' of the halls at many locations throughout Kiryas Joel, at affordable prices. The Rebbe looked around at the kitchen's facilities, and heard a report from the members of the Takanos Chasuna Committee, and bestowed his holy blessing.

The Rebbe davened Maariv at around 10:00 and then continued receiving the public.
